Ethernet PoE Extender SPT-POE/2-POE-1G-IP67 by SPT — 1G ports, IP67 weatherproof

SPT EXTENDER Ethernet+PoE SPT-POE/2-POE-1G-IP67 is an outdoor-capable Ethernet extender with PoE pass-through, designed to increase the reach of network links while supplying power to remote devices. Housed in an IP67-rated enclosure and supporting 1 Gbps ports, this extender enables reliable connectivity for PoE cameras, wireless access points and other network equipment in exposed or industrial settings where weather resistance and gigabit throughput are needed.

Advantages

The unit combines data extension and power delivery in a single compact device, reducing the need for separate power sources at the remote end. Its IP67 weatherproof housing protects internal electronics from dust and temporary immersion, while the Gigabit-capable ports preserve high-speed connectivity over extended runs. The design supports PoE pass-through to power connected devices directly, simplifying deployments for outdoor surveillance and wireless infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet and PoE to outdoor or rooftop cameras
• Providing network and power to outdoor wireless access points and bridges
• Industrial or construction sites requiring weatherproof network links
• Locations where running separate power cabling is impractical

When it may not be suitable

This extender is intended for extending existing Ethernet links and delivering PoE to compatible devices; it does not function as a full switch with multiple independent ports or replace managed switch features such as VLANs or advanced QoS. For indoor-only low-profile installations where environmental protection is unnecessary, a standard indoor extender or switch may be a simpler and more cost-effective option.

Key specifications

• Network speed: 1 Gbps capable Ethernet ports
• Power delivery: PoE passthrough support to power connected devices
• Ingress protection: IP67-rated enclosure for dust and water resistance
• Mounting: outdoor mounting-ready form factor (wall or pole mount capable)
• Operating environments: suitable for outdoor and industrial temperature ranges

How to use

Install the extender at an intermediate point along the Ethernet run between the network source and the remote device. Connect the incoming Ethernet cable carrying data and PoE from the switch or injector to the extender input, and connect the extender output to the remote device using a shielded outdoor-rated Ethernet cable if required. Secure the enclosure to a stable surface using appropriate outdoor mounting hardware and ensure cable glands and seals are properly tightened to maintain IP67 protection. Verify link and power delivery using the remote device indicators and network diagnostics.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the remote device supports PoE and the extender’s power passthrough meets its power class and budget
• Check distance limitations and plan cable runs using quality outdoor-rated Ethernet cable to minimize signal loss
• Ensure mounting location provides adequate drainage, protection from direct mechanical impact, and access for maintenance
• Verify environmental temperature range compatibility with your installation site

Usage recommendations

Use shielded outdoor-rated Cat5e or Cat6 cables for extended runs, keep cable lengths within Ethernet specifications for gigabit performance, and pair the extender with a PoE switch or injector that provides sufficient power budget. Periodically inspect seals and cable entries to maintain weatherproof integrity.
